Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare type of disorder caused by a blood clot in the cerebral venous sinuses or cortical veins, disrupting normal blood flow from the brain. Symptoms can include severe headaches, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. Risk factors for CVT include hormonal changes, genetic conditions, infections, and head trauma. Diagnosis is primarily made through MRI and MR venography, which identify thrombi and associated brain damage. Treatment typically involves anticoagulation therapy to dissolve clots and prevent recurrence. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes and reducing the risk of severe complications. CVT can be a rare complication in Nephrotic syndrome without any other procoagulant state and can be fatal if not recognized and treated promptly.
